I've been using eclipes for about 4 months now...I'm absolutely loving it

Just just have a few questions and was wonderingif anyone had the solutions to them:

1) Is there a to have 2 console windows ?? Suppose I want to run to programs at once and be able to look at their System output. Is there a way to do that??

2) Is there a way to set a limit on the number of console output kept? It get annoying after a while when you have to remember to click on "Remove all terminated" once in a while.

3) Is there a way to change the Java Persective such that the packages are in a tree like structure?? More like the Resource view. I know when the project is linked to a VSS repository, it will be displayed in a tree like structure... It there a way to configure all projects to look like that??

4) I seem to have a great deal of problem creating manifest files and exporting my project with it. It seems that the manifest file I want the project to include when I export as a jar, always gets over written by some generic manifest file.

1) You can only have one instance of any view open at a time. So, no, you cannot have two consoles open at once. But you *can* have multiple applications running and switch between them in a single console view via the menu that you're talking about in #2.

4) Personally, I use ant to perform "distribution" builds of my software (which includes generating the Manifest). Are you using this technique:

While we're on the subject of Eclipse, has anyone else noticed the console output getting out of step at times? It only seems to happen when i'm doing a lot of System.out's in a short period of time, but messages that cannot be in any other order start appearing with the wrong one first, or big clumps together at the same time and other oddities.Intermingling System.out with System.err seems to make things worse, but i might just be imagining that.

Would be nice if i could define my own keywords for syntax highlighting, but i can't find a way to configure this anywhere
